Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
tags/libnvdimm-fixes-5.2-rc2

...to receive a regression fix, a small (2 line code change)
performance enhancement, and some miscellaneous compilation warning
fixes. These have soaked in -next the past week with no known issues.
The device-mapper touches have Mike's ack, and the hardened user-copy
bypass was reviewed with Kees.
